Laura,
Thanks for summarizing the choices here. Was recommended on the TF call
today to actually turn this into a survey to be used to gage wider
"temperature taking" from within the TF. Mike(tm) Smith will coordinate that
survey, but it was also suggested to sit on it a bit, as CSUN will be a huge
distraction over the next week or so for many.
Perhaps ping Mike directly to ensure all goes well? (wording, etc.)
Cheers!
